ಮರಳ ಕೋಟೆ - ಮೆಲ್ಲಗೆ ಅರಳು ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ (Inside our own false fort)

ಕಣ್ಣಂಚಲಿ ಆಗಸಾನ ತೋರಿಸಿ
ಎದೆಯಾಗೆ ಧೈರ್ಯಾನ ತುಂಬಿ
ಆಸೆ ಸುತ್ತ ಅಂಜಿಕೆನ ಸುತ್ತಿ
ಮರಳ ಕೋಟೆಯೊಳಗೆ ನನ್ನ
ನೀನ್ ರಾಜನನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡ್ಬಿಟ್ಟೆ
ಓ ಜೀವ, ಅದ್ಕೆ ನೀನಂದ್ರೆ ನಂಗೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ
ಮೆಚ್ಚಿದೆ ನೀನ್ ನನ್ನೇ ಸೋಲಿಸಿದ ರೀತಿ!!

ಮರಳು ಹತ್ಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದವರು ಎಷ್ಟೋ
ಅವರ ನೆರಳೇ ಅವ್ರ್ಗೆಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣದೆ ಅನ್ಜಿದವರೆಷ್ಟೋ
ವಿಷಾನೆ ಇಲ್ಲದಿರೋ ಬರಿ ಹಾಡ್ನೆ ಕೇಳಿ ಮಣ್ಣು ಅದವ್ರೆಷ್ಟೋ !
ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಕಾಣೋ ದೂರದಾಗೆ ಹೂವನಿಟ್ಟು
ನಮ್ಮ ಗರ್ಭ ಗುಡ್ಯಾಗೆ ದೇವ್ರನ್ ಇಟ್ಟು
ಓ ಜೀವ, ನಂಗೆ ಹೂ ಕೇಳೋ ಮನಸ್ಸ ಕೊಡ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಆ ಗುಡಿ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ಬೇರೆ ಪೂಜಾರಿನ ನೀನ್ ಇಡ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ..!!

ಕೋಟೆ ಒಳಗೆ ಕತ್ತ್ಲಾದ್ರು
ನಾನ್ ಎಂದು ಮಲಗಿಲ್ಲ,
ಕೋಟೆ ಕುಸಿದು ಎದೆ ಮಟ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಂತ್ರೂ
ಆಚೆ ಇರೋರು ಯಾರು ನನ್ ರಾಜ್ಯಾನ ಪೂರ ನೋಡಿಲ್ಲ!
ಓ ಜೀವ, ನೀರ ಮ್ಯಾಗೆ ಈಜಿ ಹೋಗೋಕೆ ನೀನ್ ಬಿಡಂಗಿಲ್ಲ ,
ನಾನ್ ನಿಂತಿರೋ ಜಾಗ ದಡದಾಗೆ ಇದೆ ಅನ್ನೋದು ನಂಗೂ ಹಿಡ್ಸಂಗಿಲ್ಲ..!!

Summary: Our life is the space surrounded by the fort, that we have built for ourselves. Nobody else sees this for but us. Few who enter in this fort,mean into our life see their existence as false impression and run out. Few do not even dare to see what is inside the fort, even when you lower the fort height. The fort gives you the false courage though there are no enemies out there.
We often lose against our lines or boundaries, sometimes wanting to come out of it but unable to.
May be because we think we are safe where we are. that is inside fort of sand. We do know how to get the things we like, but certainly we avoid ourselves to move out of shell to get them. Not only because we are afraid of moving out but because of several other beautiful things which we do not want to lose out in the way to get the things we like. O jeeva, stands for talking to life itself or may relate to soul for which this life is just another space it lives in. Sometimes we stuck being what we are, where are are and relying on time to change things for us.

We will have to go against the "comfort, will and want" to get the things we desire, often leaving out few things which seem moral and ethical. Our conscience never sleeps, though its dark out there, darkness is only for a period of time. In darkness see to the other end and you see the life. Life that you ever wanted to have.

Thanks & Cheerio.
